Interconnection Cable Requirements
To connect the Local and Remote Units you will need CATx (any category 5,
5e, 6 or higher) cable terminated with RJ45 plugs. Please note that shielded
cable is advised to maintain regulatory EMC compliance.
Interconnect cables must be solid-core type. Stranded patch cable will give poor
results over longer distances. The pairing of the cable and pinning of its
connectors should normally be in accordance with EIA-568B (see below).
One CATx cable is required for each video channel.
• The Primary interconnect cable connects INTERCONNECT Port 1 on the
Local and Remote Units. This carries the main video channel and USB data.
• The Secondary interconnect cable connects to INTERCONNECT Port 2 on
the Local and Remote Units. This carries the additional video channel on
dual-head units and/or audio/serial data.
Technical Note: Although compatible with UTP cable, it is recommended that
shielded STP/FTP cable is used with this product, especially in electrically noisy
environments. When shielded cable is used, it is most important to ensure that
shield connectivity is maintained between the extender units.
Cable Pinning/Pairing
The following table illustrates which RJ45 connector pins the extenders use for
various signals. It also details the standard EIA-568B wiring scheme that is
recommended for most installations.
Looking into the RJ45 socket on a Remote Unit, Pin 1 is on the right and Pin 8
on the left.
